Pre-School & Pre-K
At the Mon Valley YMCA Child Learning Center, we offer a range of engaging preschool and pre-K programs designed to nurture young minds and prepare them for a successful educational journey.
Learning Journeys (Ages 2 ½ and Up): Our Learning Journeys program provides a gentle introduction to the learning environment, catering to children as young as 2 ½ years old by either August 31 or January 1. This program helps children adjust to the classroom setting, encouraging them to follow simple directions, participate in daily routines, engage in circle and story time, explore crafts, and learn early conflict resolution skills. It’s a supportive stepping stone for those who may not yet be ready for formal preschool.
2-Day Preschool (Ages 3 and Up): Our 2-Day Preschool program is ideal for children aged 3 years and up by August 31. Through this program, children are introduced to letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and fundamental concepts. They learn through activities such as singing songs, making letter crafts, working with manipulatives, and engaging in learning centers.
3-Day Pre-Kindergarten (Ages 4 and Up): Our 3-Day Pre-Kindergarten program is designed for children aged 4 years or older by August 31. Here, children are fully immersed in early academics, including letters, numbers, phonemic awareness, vocabulary development, and listening skills. They learn to count, recognize, and write numbers, as well as recite personal information. The program includes circle time, hands-on centers, group activities, kindergarten readiness worksheets, and crafts.
